Elly began her teaching career at Racine Horlick High School and then at Rosholt High, spending one year at each, before spending two years at Iola. She then began teaching physical education at P.J. Jacobs High School and transitioned into teaching math. She concluded her career at SPASH retiring in 1989.

Elly enjoyed playing golf and tennis. She was the 1974 Stevens Point Country Club Champion and in 2005 shot a hole-in-one. Elly also liked to sew, knit, and care for her dogs. She was an avid Packer, Brewer, Badger fan, and was a supporter of SPASH athletic events.
